Free Smoke Alarms Installed by Red Cross, BGE, and Fire Department in Baltimore

In a concerted effort to enhance fire safety in Baltimore, the American Red Cross, Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE), and the Baltimore City Fire Department have joined forces to provide free smoke alarms to local residents.

This initiative aims to reduce the risk of fire-related incidents and improve overall safety in homes throughout the city. The program is particularly focused on reaching vulnerable communities that may lack access to essential safety equipment.

Residents interested in obtaining a free smoke alarm can contact the participating organizations to schedule an installation. Fire department officials emphasize the importance of having functioning smoke alarms, as they significantly increase the chances of survival in the event of a fire.

The collaboration reflects a growing commitment among local agencies to prioritize public safety and ensure that all Baltimore residents have the resources they need to protect themselves and their families.
